To me it doesn't look like the waterway is being obstructed, I guess it doesn't to you either, however that is irrelevant, to prove that there is no obstruction you will need to present at court an expert witness who can state that there is no obstruction and in the process prove that the expert witness that the other side will produce has got it wrong. Always remembering that the maritime authority may well be the only body to determine if the waterway is obstructed or not.

You really do need to talk with a lawyer who has expertise in this matter.

However I note that the notice you have presented is dated over 25 years ago. I would suggest that you are way out of time to act in this matter.

Thanks again citizen-joe. It turns out that I was qualified as Ships Master Class 5 at the time and furthermore the vessels were located on the Victorian bank of the river when they were seized. They were located alongside the MV Barkoona floating Jetty shown at right in this picture and in the care of Capt. Ray Dowell.

Despite the Statute of Limitations; Maritime are now conducting a preliminary investigation into the matter and I will most likely engage a lawyer soon.

This matter has progressed. Following a GIPA (aka FOI) application, I now know that the Maritime NOTICE (shown earlier post) is not recorded in any Register. It is an INVALID DOCUMENT "legally and officially unacceptable". Government officials confiscated my property (2 houseboats) as a result of it. I have now located my property near Murray Downs NSW. I want to regain possession of it and have charges laid.

Thanks citizen-joe. I have been told that the matter is probably time barred under civil law. If it is a criminal matter then no time limit. My property was illegally confiscated. I am wanting IPC to determine the NOTICE is INVALID.
When they do this then how do I report it and recover my property. Thanks.

My remaining vessel is now known as Paddy Hoggs Wharf located on the NSW riverbank as described below. I consider this to be a criminal matter in which I have been deceived and defrauded. Can you please advise further.
